Exemplars of Evil

[Lord Iames Osari]

Just got the book today, but haven't really taken a good look at it yet.

Has anyone else bought this? What did you think?

Wait is this the one about the villians?

I like it because it does exactly what I thought it would, and that it details villain creation. It also works great with the Elder Evils book.

I saw that one at the store, too, and I was very tempted. I would've gotten both, but, not enough cash.

If it is what i think it is, then it a very good book with well devolplted villians. However, i wish it was longer

Yes, EE, it is a book about villains. Sorry, missed your first post somehow.

Alright, in that case it is great, however most of the villians are better as lesser villians serving a greater power. The orc villian in the beggining is my favorite, while the pirates act as a great secondary villian (make sure you mention him to the PCs when they are still low level so when they fight them their are horrified) , the two evil siblings work well if the PCs can see the true depth of their insanity. I forget the rest

I bought it and I really like it. I'm particularly enamored because several of the villains work perfectly for my setting. Likewise for Elder Evils, which I purchased last weekend.

How is Elder Evils by the way?

Its filled with well developed beings to destroy your campaign world with. I'm actually working on developing my own right now.

Exemplars of Evil was my first (and last) WotC supplement for 3.5 D&D

I don't really buy supplements, and with the exception of a few third party ones, I'd rather buy complete games and cannibalize what I can use from there. Exemplars of Evil was an exception since it was a christmas present.

I liked the Villians described there. A lot.

However, it really bugged me that, in order to use them (as written) I would have to buy about 10 other WotC supplements.

Really, I believe there is not a single core character inside.

Still, I am going to adapt the bugbear pirate with a monster living in its hold for my campaign.
